Recently in commit 7241d26e8175 ("powerpc/64: properly initialise
the stackprotector canary on SMP.") we fixed a crash with stack
protector on SMP by initialising the stack canary in
cpu_idle_thread_init().
But this can also causes crashes, when a CPU comes back online after
being offline:
Kernel panic - not syncing: stack-protector: Kernel stack is corrupted in: pnv_smp_cpu_kill_self+0x2a0/0x2b0
CPU: 1 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/1 Not tainted 4.19.0-rc3-gcc-7.3.1-00168-g4ffe713b7587 #94
Call Trace:
dump_stack+0xb0/0xf4 (unreliable)
panic+0x144/0x328

start_secondary_prolog+0x10/0x14
Looking at the stack we see that the canary value in the stack frame
doesn't match the canary in the task/paca. That is because we have
reinitialised the task/paca value, but then the CPU coming online has
returned into a function using the old canary value. That causes the
comparison to fail.
Instead we can call boot_init_stack_canary() from start_secondary()
which never returns. This is essentially what the generic code does in
cpu_startup_entry() under #ifdef X86, we should make that non-x86
specific in a future patch.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
